two decades working as a maryland state trooper... and three years in iraq. he is survived by his three daughters. in louisiana....a pastor is gunned down while delivering a sermon -- and the suspect is in custody after he called 9-1-1 and turned himself in. pastor ronald harris was speaking at his church on friday, when the gunman burst inside and shot him twice. police say the alleged shooter... woodrow karey... initially ran away... but then called the 9-1-1 dispatcher to take responsibility for the shooting. police have no idea why karey did it... nor the nature of the relationship between he and pastor harris. karey is being held on one million dollars bond. and yesterday.... friends and family paid their respects to a former florida a-and-m university football player -- who was gunned down by a police officer. a viewing was held friday night in tallahassee, florida for jonathan ferrell. police say ferrell was looking for help after surviving a car crash in north carolina --
7:01 am
when a woman called 9-1-1 to report a burglar. when officers arrived, police say ferrell approached them, and one officer shot ferrell to death. officer randall kerrick is now charged with involuntary manslaughter. a new report shows employees at the national security administration used the country's surveillance systems to snoop on their significant others. as joe johns explains... it appears to have happened at least a dozen times. love... sex... and the n-s-a... its a great movie script. and it was-- in the reese witherspoon flick "this means war." two intelligence agents discover they are dating the same woman... one even monitoring and interrupting the other's intimate activities.. "make it rain..." it's definitely not legal, but it's not just in the movies. and the operation even has a name -- "loveint," as in "intelligence." the national security agency detailing in a
7:02 am
letter to congress 12 cases of employees mis- using the wide ranging snooping power of the government to spy on romantic interests reviewing telephone numbers called on a girlfriend 's phones.. listening to collected phone conversations of a woman with whom an employee was having sex... querying email addresses belonging to a former girlfriend... tasking the system to look for communications of a wife... and in one case a woman checked a foreign telephone number she had discovered in her husbands cellular phone because she suspected he'd been unfaithful: several of these cases were referred to the department of justice for potential prosecution, appropriate discipline, action and other cases. we hold ourselves accountable every day." but james bamford, author of 'the shadow factory" about the n-s-a -- says this is probably the tip of the iceberg because its human nature and so hard to resist taking a peek at a lover's communications when you have the power to track them anywhere in the world: "you have somebody who has the access, the
7:03 am
capability, and then the emotional issue involved and you put all that together and its a very tempting." the fact that 12 cases were caught and dealt with over the last ten years may suggest the n- s-a can handle this kind of misbehavior.. but bamford says in the big picture, the guy who put the world focus on the agency shows how a bigger fix is needed: "the internal controls at nsa are pathetic. look at edward snowden, he was able to walk out of nsa with the most secret documents he could get and he spent three months exfiltrating those documents. and no once detected him." lace up your running shoes! it's the third annual run wild for autism 5k race and family fun run/walk. the event put on by pathfindersfor autism... a non profit organization established in 2000 by parents with children affected by the

7:17 am
witness statements...the san francisco district attorney says he doesn't have enough evidence to charge michael montgomery in the killing of jonathan denver. denver's father is expected to make the plea outside giant stadium this afternoon prior to the start of the game. it's thought someone may have recorded the fight on a cell phone. a report on the wildfire that killed 19 firefighters found the flames were just too intense to survive. investigators released their findings yesterday... they believe the yarnell fire circled around the crew too fast... and cut off their escape route. according to the report, the fire took a couple turns... doubled in intensity and then spread the length of a football field in 19 seconds. another issue that day... fire chiefs lost radio contact with the crew for a half hour... leaving investigators to make educated guesses on the firefighters' decision-making process. "we feel that they
7:18 am
were moving to their safety zone and then with ability to reengage is that they would be closer to their equipment, closer to their other crew members and closer to the other fire resources." the 19 men had less than two minutes to defend themselves and deploy shelters. temperatures in the canyon exceeded two- thousand degrees that day. the investigators made seven recommendation s following the tragedy... including real- time g-p-s tracking technology. five years after bernie madoff's multi-billion dollar ponzi scheme was uncovered... his longtime accountant... paul konigsberg is now facing federal charges. feds say konigsberg doctored account statements that played a key role in madoff's fraud. konigsberg... who is now 77 years old... is facing a range of criminal charges including conspiracy and falsifying the records of an investment advisor. konigsberg pleaded not guilty in federal court and was released on two-million dollars bond. if convicted, he could spend up to 40 years in prison.

konigsberg is the 15th person charged in relation to the ponzi scheme, despite madoff's assertions that he acted alone. okay... sign me up! it is national coffee day... and if you are a fan of the java.... you can celebrate with some free coffee! some of your favorite places are participating. you can get a free cup at dunkin donuts -- if you download their smart phone app. krispy kreme, starbucks, and other coffee shops are also offering deals... or you can just brew a pot... stay home and keep us company! coming up... mark your royal calendar. when and where the newest addition to the royal family... will be christened. getting rid... of unwanted body art. the pricey... but less painful option... that more and more people are choosing. you're watching fox45 morning news... weekends.

d@one-in-five americans has a tattoo. but when your body art is no longer part of your lifestyle, getting it removed can become a priority. as holly firfer tells us... a new laser is now making it quicker and easier to get rid of those outdated tattoos. michelle rodriguez got her tattoo in her late teens but things have changed since
7:23 am
then. i just decided i don't want it anymore removing a tattoo used to be a long painful process, but a new laser is changing that. after one treatment typically you can see 40% of that tattoo is gone within 6 weeks. the cost per treatment is much higher. but dr. forney says what used to take 8 - 20 treatments with the old technology can now be done in about 5. and there is less pain. the procedure feels like you're getting tattooed again. it wasn't that bad at all. the new laser breaks the tattoo up into much smaller ink particles than in the past making it quicker and easier for the body to essentially chew them up and remove them. certain colors were very difficult with the old technology, particularly challenging were blues and greens. but after 2 treatments with the new tool, dr. forney has seen improvements not only with rodriquez's blue butterfly, but in this blue character and this lizard. rodriguez has to wait at least 6 weeks between

treatments and says she'll be glad when her tattoo is gone. one of the wings had grown a little bit over the years. for today's health minute, i'm holly firfer. coming up... the ravens defense... is returning to form. how the players... including former defensive player of the year terrell suggs... responded after being embarrassed week one... in denver.

adlib chat with jim the house voted early today on a
7:28 am
7:29 am
spending plan that includes measures meant to undermine obamacare. it's the latest in a ramped-up game of political hot potato. the tick-tock toward shutdown inches closer... with little compromise in sight. cristina mutchler has the latest developments from a busy weekend session for congress. in a saturday vote, the house approved a revised spending plan that includes.... a year delay of the affordable care act repeal of the medial device tax funding of the government until dec. 15 the military to be paid in case of a shutdown. the new counteroffer was forged by house speaker john boehner and his republican caucus.. to appease conservative opposition to obamacare. let's postpone it for a year. that's what this is all about. will you accept the compromise? the house has now volleyed the prevention of a government shutdown back
7:30 am
to the senate -- which could wait until monday to take up the measure. senate democrats have stated any changes to the bill they passed friday, which funds both the goverment and obamacare would be a non- starter. senate majority leader harry reid said saturday, the house strategy was "pointless." "we are still at square one. republicans must decide whether to pass the senate's clean cr, or force a republican government shutdown....the american people will not be extorted by tea party anarchists." the white house is also voicing frustration. a statement by the press secretary... "republicans in congress had the opportunity to pass a routine, simple continuing resolution that keeps the government running for a few more weeks. but instead, republicans decided they would rather make an ideological point by demanding the sabotage of the health care law....." the president says he would veto the house plan. past government shutdowns have disrupted the economy. this shutdown would, too...knock it off, pass a budget, and move on. as the divide continues, and
7:31 am
the possibility of a government shutdown looms, another partisan showdown is on the horizon. the deadline to raise the nation's debt ceiling is october 17th. i'm cristina mutchler reporting, from atlanta does a partial government government shutdown threaten the recovery of the housing industry? it very well could because some mortgages won't be processed. it all depends on which agency is securing your loan. mortgages backed by the federal government account for the majority of u-s home loans... and most won't be affected because they're purchased and secured by fannie mae and freddie mac. but... processing will stop on loans guaranteed by the federal housing administration...t he veteran's administration... and rural development loans by the u-s department of agriculture. thats about 45- percent of all mortgages used to buy homes last year. married same- sex couples may be in store for a big tax refund. before this summer's supreme court ruling... the
7:32 am
defense of marriage act defined marriage between a man and a woman... meaning that same-sex spouses had to file their tax returns individually. now... they're being permitted to file amended returns... to see if they're owed a bigger refund. going forward, married same-sex couples must file all returns as married. frederick is raking in the dough... from red light camera violators. according to "the frederick news-post"... the city has issued nearly 4-million in fines from the system... since the program started in 2005. police say they catch an average of 17 violators every day. there are 12 cameras placed at 9 different intersections in frederick. each ticket issued costs 75- dollars. crews have stopped a sewage spill in gwynns falls park. city officials are blaming a broken, aging pipe for the overflow. at one point, sewage was coming out at a rate of nearly a gallon a second. the sewer line break is several hundred feet off franklintown road, in a
7:33 am
wooded area south of the park. crews estimate the broken pipe was more than 70 years old. a city spokesman says this is just another example of why baltimore is spending more than a billion dollars to rehab and replace old sewer mains. the ravens are in buffalo today... to face the 1 and 2 bills. baltimore's defense hasn't given up a touchdown since week one in denver. also since that disastrous outing... the front 7... has kept every rushing attack under 100 yards per game. the ravens have 11 sacks... 7th best in the league. three of those belonging to terrell suggs... who after an injury filled season... appears to be back to his 20-11... defensive player of the year form. "when i was younger, the personal accolades were a [desired] achievement for me. i think the only thing we need to account for is wins and losses, and we're 2-1
7:34 am
after three games. that's not terrible, [but] we can do better, and we'd like to be 3-0. it is what it is, and this week we're playing the buffalo bills and we're just really ready to get to work and prepare for them." "he won the unsung hero award we give out the very first victory we had, because he did all the things that [are] the dirty work-type things - the things you don't talk about too much. he's a complete player." kick off for today's game is set for one o'clock. jacoby jones is out... terrence cody and ryan jensen are doubtful... while eight other guys are questionable. rookie receiver marlon brown is expected to play... listed as probable. run wild for autism 5k race and family run/walk is celebrating its third year. the annual event put on by pathfinders incorporated, a non profit organization established in

used to being told to turn off electronic devices during flight. but exactly how much do those electronics interfere with the plane's system? this month, a government industry group studying the subject will give its findings and recommendation s to the federal aviation administration. as rene marsh reports... the report may lead to looser rules on e-readers and similar devices on planes. "please turn off all cellular phones and other electronic
7:46 am
devices." the faa could decide to relax those restrictions. at boeing's plant in seattle-- we asked the people who build the planes if it's dangerous to keep devices on during all phases of flight. "the emissions are being measured by this antenna here." inside boeing's elctro magnetic interference lab... engineers have been studying the issue for years, testing cell phones', laptops' and tablets' impact on airplane systems. engineer kenny kirchoff tested my cell phone. "this phone is communicating with the cell tower, and these spikes show that it has failed." its emissions crossed the threshold and could interfere with systems like the plane's smoke alarm. next test: a laptop. "goes above the limit line." it failed, showing potential interference with the pilots' communications radios. a tablet in wi-fi mode also failed. but the
7:47 am
same tablet in airplane mode tested safe. "it's not necessarily that a phone can bring down an airplane. that's not really the issue. the issue is interfering with the airplane and causing more work for pilots during critical phases of flight." a recent survey found one in three passengers left their devices on because they forgot. despite that, engineers say no electronic device has ever taken down a plane. (stand-up) "new planes are being built knowing passengers are flying with electronics, and they want to use them. so planes like this one being designed with technology that can counter interference." kirchoff recommends devices not be used in flight unless the airplane has been tested against every possible electronic device that could be used on board. and he says there's another problem. "you would be asking all of the flight attendants to monitor which devices are good and which devices can't be used and that, that's a heavy burden for flight attendants." a burden... he says... is impractical. rene marsh, seattle. coming up in our

7:52 am
space. the stars may be solid, but how sound is the science behind the film? nischelle turner takes a look. a "thrilling... nerve- shredding... phenomenon -- that's critics describing "gravity." but, when it comes to space movies, it's no secret hollywood can be light on facts and heavy on fiction. "i was in grad school and we went to see the core and there were maybe 20 or so geophysicists in the audience. and i rememeber we were laughing at different times than the rest of the audience." as for the science behind this movie, ucla's dr. jean-luc margot says things are looking up. "from a scientific stand point i thought the movie makers did a very good job. it was based on shuttle servicing mission that has happened. they paid attention to the fact that sound doesn't propogate in space. they also tried hard to portray the conservation of momentum. so, when sandra and george collide with each other they will sort of bounce off
7:53 am
with each other. i would give it an a." sandra bullock and george clooney co-star in the 90-minute 3-d epic directed by alfonso cuaron. "the most important thing was to get right the science on the screen." "because the minute that you see a crack or something that doesn't feel right, the audience will go, 'no, not there, you lost me.'" the film's $80m budget included scientists, new lighting technology and a gravity-free simulator. "a lot of that for me was to see how a camera would react there." to portray an astronaut stranded 400 miles above earth, bullock trained with real nasa veteran cady coleman. "the thing i needed to know from her was physically what her body was doing, what it did in space." margot, who saw the film in l-a, notes there are a few moments of movie magic. "there's one scene where you see the space shuttle spinning wildly out of control because it's hit by a piece of debris. i actually did that calculation and it would have to be...about a thousand kilograms,
7:54 am
about a ton of material." ...space trash that big would have been tracked by nasa. "i mean, every single piece larger than the size of my fist is being tracked." as for the film's suggestion its heroine only had six months of training? "that would be implausible. but that makes the film more enjoyable." ..enjoyable, acclaimed and for the most part realistic. nischelle turner, cnn, hollywood. coming up in our 8 o'clock hour... technology coming up in our 8 o'clock hour... technology that claims it can prevent car crashes. find out if it's worth the hefty price tag.

7:59 am
government shutdown. in the early morning hours today, the republican-led house approved a plan to delay the president's health care law by a year... and
8:00 am
provide funding so federal offices won't have to close tuesday morning. the debate got heated across party lines. democrats are accusing republicans of being irresponsible... and republicans say democrats are being unreasonable. here's a taste of the testy rhetoric that happened overnight... "the president of the united states will talk to dictator in tehran, but he won't even negotiate with the house of representatives." "and i agree with my other colleagues -- this whole debate is a subterfuge and a proxy for a strong desire to bring this nation to its knees, and to punish the people for electing barack obama president of the united states." "will you accept the compromise? if this government shuts down, it's because you have not accepted the compromise that republicans have reached out to you and offered!" "i don't even have a voice, but i want to let america know that house republicans are
8:01 am
shutting down the government. they're doing it intentionally. they're doing it on purpose. mr. speaker, the house is not in order." (boos, gavel hit)" president obama has vowed to veto the measure if it makes it to his desk. however, it's doubtful the plan will get that far... senate majority leader harry reid says it will die in his chamber. congress has until 11:59 tomorrow night to reach a compromise. so how exactly did congress get to this oint? karin caifa looks at what's at stake and what's ahead for lawmakers and the rest of us. it's supposed to be like clockwork. by law, congress is supposed to pass a budget before september 30th, the end of the fiscal year. hence a clock ticking towards the government shutting its doors, leaving a lot of americans concerned. what we've generally see is a sense of concern about really the politics and the
8:02 am
ability of our system to compromise and move forward on legislation. a shutdown wouldn't mean full paralysis. the u-s postal service would still deliver mail. airport security checkpoints would still be manned. the i-r-s would still collect taxes. and social security checks would likely go out on time. but many other federal payments would be halted. as federal workers, the president and congress could still go to work. non-essential government employees would be furloughed. passport and visa applications could go unprocessed. national parks and museums would shutter. applications for federal housing and student loans could see a backlog. none of this comes cheap. according to the congressional research service, the last time the government shut down in late 1995 and early 1996, the tab to taxpayers, was one-point-four billion dollars. while the shutdown is serious, it's really more about positioning and trying to gain some points for the battle that's going to come. that battle, is
8:03 am
over the debt ceiling. the treasury department says the u-s will hit its borrowing limit in mid- october. if congress doesn't move to raise it, interest rates could climb, and the stock market would be in for another bumpy ride, potentially throwing the nation's economic recovery off course. in washington, i'm karin caifa. anne arundel county police are searching for several people who reportedly beat and stabbed a man in brooklyn park early yesterday morning. the 24-year-old victim told police the individuals attacked him a little after four a-m near old riverside and hilltop drives. we're told his injuries are not life-threatening. family and friends of mike ridgell... one of 12 victims in the navy yard shooting... have said their final goodbyes... hundreds gathered at the church of severn run to bid farewell to a man they say

suspicious activity in a honda accord. three people died when the honda slammed into another vehicle. police say they were following the car... not chasing it... family members don't believe that was the case. "in my heart yes, who drive like that only if someone is chasing you" "clearly chase involved, had a lt. told them to break the chase off, and clearly you had officers for whatever reason did not break the chase off." the investigation continues... it's unclear with the officers involved with face criminal charges. frederick is raking in the dough... from red light camera violators. according to "the frederick news-post"... the city has issued nearly 4-million in fines from the system... since the program started in 2005. police say they catch an average of 17 violators every day. there are 12 cameras placed at 9 different intersections in

frederick. each ticket issued costs 75- dollars. automakers now advertise sophisticated systems they can warn you before a crash -- or even stop your car just in the nick of time. it sounds great -- but how well does it really work? a car safety group says they now have the answers. rene marsh tested their findings. (nats crash) they cause thousands in damage.... (nats crash) serious injuries and even death. the insurance institute for highway safety says high tech systems in new cars aimed at preventing or mitigating front end crashes are in fact keeping drivers safer. keep your foot off the brake. keep your foot off the brake. did it stop you? rene :yes it did. its called collision avoidance technology. the institute tested several to determine if they're effective and worth your money. "we find they help reduce crashes with other vehicles by about 7 percent." that's just the work of the warning system... (nat beep)

(nats crash) less than 6 thousand in damage now...compare the two "we think it is worth the money. " two cameras mounted up here inside the top rated subaru legacy dominick infante calls the two cameras a second pair of eyes. rene: i was able to take my foot off both pedals the brake and the gas and the car stopped on its own that's how it was meant to work. infante: exactly. two cameras. it sees the car in front of you slow down as you get closer to it. it starts to bring on the

brakes. and it has the power to bring the car to a complete stop and keep you stopped. the cost of the crash avoidance technologies could be hundreds up to thousands of dollars depending how advanced the system is. the technology is mostly optional now. about five to 10-percent of new cars are sold with these systems. married same- sex couples may be in store for a big tax refund. before this summer's supreme court ruling... the defense of marriage act defined marriage between a man and a woman... meaning that same-sex spouses had to file their tax returns individually. now... they're being permitted to file amended returns... to see if they're owed a bigger refund. going forward, married same-sex couples must file all returns as married. police are trying to figure out why a gunman burst into a church in louisiana and gunned down a pastor while he was delivering a sermon. witnesses say this man, woodrow karey,

i'm chris wallace washington barrels towards a government shut down. congress in a stand off over a plan the government passed at
8:56 am
midnight on monday. and a dispute over obama care at the send of of it all. the message to congress is do not shut down the government, do not shut down the economy. pay our bills on time. >> if this government shuts down it's because you have not accepted the compromise that republicans reached out to you and offered. >> house republicans stand firm in their attack on obama care. we'll ask kevin mccarthy what's their strategy. then, the next faze of the president's health care law started tuesday when uninsured learns can start shopping for coverage through online marketplaces. >> if you will have ever tried to buy if on your own, this is a lot easier. >> two leading senators debate
8:57 am
how obama care will affect you. tim kaine who supports the plan, and mike lee who wants it repealed. and the historic phone call between obama and rouhani. and our american power player of the weekend. >> when i looked out from under my helmet, all of these marines were looking at me. >> hello again from fox news in washington. we're just hours away from a potential government shut down. the house passed a revamped spending bill, but added conditions that the senate democrats call unacceptable. kevin mccarthy is joining me,

8:59 am
>> it's a privileged motion. they don't even have to debate, harry reid can thw it in the trash. >> but when you look at the american pub hick, learning what's going on with this bill, opposing it, you go to some of these states where they have difficult races, i think they have to be pressuring their leaders. >> okay, assume for the sake of discussion they reject it. what will the house do then? >> i think the house will get back together and in enough time send another provision not to shut the down, and there will be options again. when you look at what has transpired since obama care moved forward, we have created s
